I find m_per_s much more readable than m_div_s, but as a native English speaker, both 'per' and 'div' make sense to me. Before stating categorically that 'per' is preferable, I'd like like to hear from non-native speakers. They might be comfortable with 'div' but completely confused by 'per'.
English: meter per second Dutch: meter per seconde French: mètres par seconde German: meter pro sekunde Spanish: metro por segundo I think that 'per' is as much english as 'divided by'. People who know english won't be confused by it. -- Carlo Wood <carlo@alinoe.com>
